If You Give A Mouse A CookieStory Sequencing CardsHave your students really understand the conceptof this being a circular, repetitive story. My students really enjoyed doing this activity!It was great for them to strengthentheir reading and cutting skills, and they LOVED that they could easily retellthe story to their families at home.

How many cvc words can your students read in one minute?I had my students use a button to markwhere they stopped each time,so that they could see if they could beat their time.I'm thinking giving everyone 1 small "cookie"from Cookie Crisp cereal to move around as a time marker may make it even more funfor a special occassion.(I just couldn't get to the store in time!)

How many alphabet letters can your students read in one minute?

After reading the letter namesas quickly as they can,have your students go back and tryto read as many alphabet letterSOUNDS in one minute!

Cat And Cupcake Rhyming CVC Words "Craft" I made this last year, and my kids really liked "feeding" the cat each time they readone of the words on the cupcake.Just have your students color and cutthe cat and the cupcake out....then they help the cat to read the wordson the cupcake and pretend to feed him a bite.Cat wants to eata yummy, yummy treat.Read all the words that rhyme,so he can have cupcake time!

My kids really like putting these sequencing sheets togetherand using the "puppets" to walk aroundthe sequence sheet to retell the story.It's been great for their reading skillsas well as their cutting skills!

You are very welcome! I'm so glad that you like them! I hope this year's going to be the best one yet.for all of us. That's one of the perks of our jobs...we get to start over every year!2014-2015 Here We Come!:) Regina
